Bala has given a different term, which looks similar but doesn\'t seem to be the one we find in our school \"Bhautic Shahstra\" text books. The references given by him or undisputable.

Is there anyone who remembers what they studied? or, anybody who can find the other references to substantiate the standard term in favor of either \"bhoo-sthir\" or for \"Tulyakali\".

What today\'s Hindi Physics text books use? And what ISRO\'s Hindi publications use?

So, it seems both the terms are being used by various agencies.

neutral  Anil Goyal: Bala, 'bhoo-sthir" is what we have studied all the years in our Physics books during Schooling. The "tulyakali" means 'synchronised', so, it could be a good choice for the term "Synchronised Satellite". Did you find same term in both the references?
